Season two of ‘Winning Time’ picks up during the 1984 season as the Laker vs Celtic rivalry is heating up. Magic is one of the leagues newest stars who keeps racking up assists on the court and scoring off of it. We get a further look into the life of Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson and his journey into becoming one of the most heavily endorsed athletes of our time.

Dr. Jerry Buss continues following Dr. Jerry Buss on his quest to save the franchise while Westhead and Riley look to cement their place as coaches. The Lakers are already champions but they are in pursuit of dynasty status a feat that can push any collective to the brink of collapse.

Winning Time combines one of the most entertaining casts in television with one of the greatest stories in sports history. Tune into season two of ‘Winning Time’ as we follow the Showtime Lakers quest for greatness on HBO every Sunday at 9pm.
